Prompt Care for Unexpected Dental Problems
Dental emergencies can happen anytime from sudden tooth pain to a knocked-out tooth. When they do, timely care is essential to relieve discomfort, prevent further damage, and save your smile.
At Legacy Dental Pasadena, we provide prompt emergency dental care with advanced technology and gentle treatment. Whether it’s pain, trauma, or infection, our experienced team is ready to help restore your comfort and peace of mind.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Severe toothache or sudden pain
Often caused by infection, decay, or a cracked tooth. Prompt treatment can stop the pain and prevent further damage.
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
Even small fractures can worsen over time. We can repair or restore your tooth to protect it from infection or sensitivity.
Knocked-out or loose teeth
Time is critical. If addressed within an hour, there’s a good chance the tooth can be saved.
Swelling, infection, or abscess
These are signs of a serious dental or gum infection that needs immediate care to prevent spreading.
Lost or broken crowns, bridges, or fillings
We can quickly replace or repair restorations to restore comfort, function, and appearance.
Gum or jaw pain following injury
Pain or swelling after trauma may indicate hidden damage. Early evaluation helps prevent complications.

A dental emergency includes severe pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, a broken or knocked-out tooth, or damage to existing dental work that affects your comfort or ability to chew. If you’re unsure, it’s always safest to call your dentist right away.
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it with water if dirty, place it in milk or a saline solution, and visit your dentist within 30 to 60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
Hospital emergency rooms can help manage pain or serious bleeding, but they typically cannot provide dental treatment. Whenever possible, contact your dentist first for faster and more effective care.
Rinse with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and take over-the-counter pain medication as directed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
Most dental insurance plans cover part of the cost for urgent procedures such as exams, fillings, or extractions. Our team can review your benefits and provide a clear estimate before treatment begins.
